The Parents Association is well organized. Principal Scannell is wonderful, he knows all the kids by name. I live within 8 blocks of another Catholic school and chose to send my daughter to St. Mary's because I have seen the results of their hard work and dedication in my nephews who have excelled in school. St. Mary's has a great sense of family and belonging. Kids love being a part of it. Read less
